The Joy in the JOurneY
“Just as perennials bloom, wither, die, and turn to mulch, only to seed, break ground, and bloom again, the soul is a perennial that keeps breaking ground through the many chances we give it.”— The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters by Mark Nepo
“Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!” – Sitting Bull
What’s right in front, in reach, that you are missing? What else? How about? Why not? Beyond the perceived struggle is an ease, a depth, a tapestry. Broaden your view and then move closer to see the details in unexplored territory on your doorstep. Find the joy in the daily journey, participate in it.
Do not forgo your life pursuing someday, perfect circumstances, expecting others to change. You change. Control the only thing you can – you, your thoughts, attitude and perspective.
Enter your life anew daily, engage, dive beneath the surface of feelings, perfection and ego into the well of flourishing, possibility and expansion available now. Awareness, gratitude and awe fuel joy, optimism and outcomes.
Search, find and receive the joy in the journey.
“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein
